Healthy Eating

Providing you with healthy options is something your dining team proudly does every day. We help you select delicious, nutritious and satisfying meals, snacks and desserts by highlighting well-balanced menu choices and providing nutritional information and tips to help you make choices that fit your needs.

She is available via e-mail for private consultations at Cristina.Caro@sodexo.com, and also visits the campus multiple times per year to host nutrition discussions and events with the dining team.

Food Allergies

We take pride in serving you wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately and providing nutritional analysis and ingredient statements through our online menus and nutrition calculator. From our general manager to our front line servers, we work carefully to address food allergies, celiac diets, or other special dietary needs.

Please visit https://www.ut.edu/academics/academic-support/academic-excellence-programs/student-disability-services to fill out the Accommodation Request Form if you have special dietary needs. Once the form has been completed, one of our dining managers will reach out to you to set up a one-on-one meeting.
